 As exciting as his cheeses are, a dream match should include high quality game play. And thats not what Has stands for. | ||

Unless maybe Kelazhur follows it up with making a miracolous run through the bracket | ||

He got the backing of big Brazilian eSports people and within a day won the foreign Terran vote by a 5000 vote margin, no other player across any poll actually was anywhere close to that amount of votes. But considering most of those people likely won't watch the tournament, let's say that result was a bit controversial. | ||

He was no where near winning the vote (like 1000 behind uthermal and HeroMarine) then a bunch of big figures in the brazilian esports tweeted out telling people to vote for him. He got like 5000 votes in a couple days and ended up winning. | ||

We barely ever get to see foreigners and players like Has compete with the best koreans. Just because matches on paper will be one-sided doesn't mean people don't wanna see the outcome. | ||

Uninspired tank push after uninspired tank push. So sick of the meme that EU Protosses and Terrans are better than the other foreigners just because EU has the best foreign Zergs. | ||

While the WCS Circuit locks out the best players, everyone playing in it operates under the same rules. If the EU Terrans are the ones getting the opportunities in tournament playoffs, it is because they are the ones winning their way there. The players not getting those "chances" are the worse players. | ||
